My vision for ministry in South Sudan

In August 1992, the Lord said to me, “Go to the secondary schools!” My life’s dream is the vision of regenerated youths, ablaze with a passion for Christ’s glory and fame in the world.

Teens and young adults impacted and equipped to take the Kingdom Message to the ends of the earth.

I dream of a Christian students’ movement mobilized for global missions. And I see this dream realized through our efforts in discipleship with the young people in Yei, South Sudan. I see them as arrows in the hands of the Master, waiting to be shot in various directions northward, into regions where His name and fame is still unknown. I see them manifesting the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit as in the days of the Bible. But first, they need to be prepared.

The ultimate goal of my ministry is to raise young people whose life will honor and glorify God. To accomplish this goal I need a team of passionate Christ followers to go with me. I am praying for laborers of the harvest, people who love to hang out with young people with the aim of connecting them to their purpose.

Mubarrak is a young man who represents the power of our ministry. Three years ago he came to Christ through our ministry and and a year later, he returned to his tribe in the Nuba Mountains, compelled to share the Gospel with them. Although it has been difficult, he felt God calling him to the Arabian Peninsula as a missionary where he has been for over a year.

I believe we are on the verge of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in South Sudan that will change the spiritual landscape of that nation forever.

With most secondary schools in Yei hosting their own Scripture Union fellowships, it’s only a matter of time before the explosion will occur. We are looking beyond Yei at present and asking the Lord for directions.

We need staff to help disciple and conduct vocational training for those seeking a trade, connecting them with God’s purpose.

We also need to create a platform to develop these young leaders in their God given passions.  Anything from skill and ministry expression, to intercession, evangelism and church planting to music, drama etc.

South Sudan is the newest country in the world. Yei is just three hours from Uganda and is safe for visitors. The young people there speak English and are eager for more experienced people to help them grow. It’s a place where the fields are white unto harvest. All we need are laborers and sponsors.

If the Lord is stirring your heart to align your dream with our vision and partner with us, please send me an email: ucheizuora@yahoo.com. We want to know you and how you hope to labor with us.

I'm inspired by God’s passion for His name in every generation, which provokes global worship through Jesus Christ. Becoming an emotionally healthy and transformative disciple, I aim to mobilize the Church to engage in cross-cultural missions and raise other like-minded disciples who discover themselves in Christ and seek to present and represent Him as Savior and Lord among the nations northward of Uganda.
